Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
D MajorD
Down by the Hunter where the coal-trucks roll
D MajorD
And the billboards tell ya where to save your soul
G+G                      D MajorD
There's another place, does a better job by far
D MajorD
When the moonlight hammers on the railway bridge
D MajorD
And the whole world's lookin' for a beverage
G+G                          D MajorD
And you ain't got nothin', nothin' in the boot a the car
       A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Time for the backroom at Dougie and Gleny Rae's tikki bar

Verse 2:
D MajorD
When the coal-trucks settle up and down the line
D MajorD
You can wake up thinking that it's '89
G+G                      D MajorD
But there's another sound, thicker than a Bolivar
D MajorD
You can hear it pumping out the roll-a-door
D MajorD
Walnut piano on a wooden floor
G+G                      D MajorD
Backbeat drummer, Roy on a slide guitar
        A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Coming from the backroom at Dougie and Gleny Rae's tikki bar

Verse 3:
D MajorD
When the high tide's suckin' at the old sea wall
D MajorD
And the full moon's lookin' like a mirror ball
G+G                      D MajorD
Bigger than Elvis, hotter than a speedway star
D MajorD
With a wet pay packet on a midnight hand
D MajorD
They say you can win a mariachi band
     G+G                  D MajorD
You can lose a girl, quicker than a coup de grace
    A augmentedA                    D MajorD
In the backroom at Dougie and Gleny Rae's tikki bar

Verse 4:

Talk about the backroom (Dougie and Gleny Rae's)

Verse 5:
D MajorD
I said haul that mother, haul that son
D MajorD
Haul that rubber to the end of a run
G+G                  D MajorD
That ain't got ridden since between the wars
D MajorD
All hidden from the liquor laws
D MajorD
Down by the Hunter where the coal-trucks roll
D MajorD
And the billboards tell ya where to save your soul
     G+G                 D MajorD
There's another place, does a better job by far
